There are three ways to raise new issues: within Bugzilla, on the public
mailing list, or on the WS Policy comments list. The Working Group
has a high preference for Bugzilla and would be very grateful if reviewers could use it for raising new issues.

General information for New Issues

No matter what way you choose, please provide the following information:

Title - A short descriptive name for the issue

Description - A longer and complete description of the issue, state in terms of the documents

Justification - Why is this an issue? E.g., state an architectural concern, demonstrate an interop problem, explain a
use case that isn't met

Target - What deliverable the issue is against (framework | attachment)

Proposal - A reasonably complete proposal for how the issue should be addressed.

It is also appreciated if the proposed solution comes with test cases.
